A 38-year-old woman who handles public affairs for NASA faces charges she faked driving permits to cover up her DUI-related driver license suspensions, federal and state investigators report.

Candrea Thomas of Rockledge was charged with five third-degree felony counts of forgery involving public records after agents from the Inspector General's office raised questions in October over whether she misrepresented her driving status by presenting falsified temporary driving permits made on a home computer, records show.
